A rebuilt apron, a new baggage hall and upgraded gates, phased so no airline lost a single departure slot.
Twenty-two acres of apron had to be replaced while aircraft parked, fueled and pushed back next to the work. Inside, the baggage hall was rebuilt under a terminal processing passengers every day. Each airline had its own slot schedule, and the airport needed a phasing plan that protected every one of them.
The approach.
- 01
Phasing built from slot schedules
Airline departure data was mapped against apron phases, so each closure took gates out of service only when they were not needed.
- 02
Concrete paving at night
Apron panels were placed in overnight shifts with high-early-strength mixes, ready for aircraft within the agreed window.
- 03
Airfield safety every shift
Escorted vehicles, foreign object sweeps and daily coordination with operations kept the work invisible to pilots.
- 04
Baggage system run before cutover
The new carousels and conveyors ran thousands of test bags before the overnight switch from the old hall.
The outcome.
“The airline schedule was the real contract. We wrote our phasing plan in departure times.”
